Oscar Isaac praised his fellow cast member Harrison Ford for being “tough” and talked about the auditioning process for the role of Poe Dameron in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in a recent interview. Separately, Ford shared some of his insight about what the young actors can expect after being cast in the movie.

Speaking to MTV, Isaac said that the whole auditioning process was completed in about one hour. The actor revealed that when he went in for the audition, the role was different, and he only got to read his lines after the role had “evolved.” The actor plays the role of a pilot of the Resistance, against the remnant forces of the Empire, which are now called the First Order.

The actor also teased that the phrase “May the Force be with you” was said a lot on the set but refused to comment on whether any of the scenes in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will feature this dialogue. The phrase is generally said by the Jedi in the movie franchise.

The actor also teased that there may be some dancing involved for his character in the forthcoming movie. He neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of him dancing in the movie but said that the fans should not be surprised if they see him dance in the movie.

Talking about the surprise visit by Ford (Han Solo) at the San Diego Comic-Con, Isaac said that none of the cast members knew about the veteran actor joining them at the panel and said that the actor was a “tough” person. Ford had previously suffered a leg injury on the set of the movie and later was injured in a plane crash.

In an interview with io9, Ford had said that the life the young actors had before being cast in the forthcoming movie was “over” and said that the new cast members have “checked in for the biggest e-ticket ride there ever was!” The actor remembered telling Daisy Ridley (Rey) that her life will change and that she will get used to it eventually.

The main plot of the forthcoming movie has still not been revealed by the producers. Some of the characters in the movie, two trailers and a behind-the-scenes video have been released so far. Anthony Breznican of Entertainment Weekly has come out with a few theories about the movie, based on the photos and the videos released by the producers.

According to the report, the female hand that is seen in the second trailer accepting a familiar lightsaber belongs to Leia (Carrie Fisher). He also speculates that the crash-landed TIE fighter on Jakku is the same one that is seen in the trailer shooting at Stormtroopers in a hangar. He suggests that the one thing connecting Finn (John Boyega), Leia and Rey in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is the lightsaber.
